There are occasions where you know there is a emoji, user or group (original example) where you just can’t remember the additional characters to reduce the list further in that moment.

For example here on meta attempt to find the usernames of the following users using the auto-complete:

1. User 1

- You know their last name is “Smith”
- Their avatar is: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/1/f168c8ab2aa6c9cb810b48d97a0f86a5f817c02d.png)

1. User 2

- You know their username contains “smith”
- Their avatar is: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/e/ee952f6650bb5e01999ab2522d48a6c806422499.png)
